SPORTS/FITNESS - Parkour Fitness Training

We first saw parkour touch the mainstream a few years back...And while most people aren't about to go scaling tall buildings or jumping rooftops (and we don't recommend it), it was only a matter of time before elements of the parkour discipline made their way alongside some of the most popular fitness training regimens (i.e. pilates, kickboxing, etc.). It won't be long before we start seeing Crunch, Bally's, Lucille Roberts (hehe) incorporating parkour themes into their class schedules. Hey, if 'Cardio Strip Tease' can make it...
John Ashdown of guardian.co.uk tried out the Parkour fitness training session at the UK Parkour Academy and wrote up a nice recap of his experience:
"Parkour Academy class, an indoor session for men and women that is aimed as an introduction to the discipline as well as a conditioning class for those looking for the extra few muscles needed to take on the bigger jumps. Horses, vaults, benches and mats are arranged around the sports hall and the group is split into four, ranging from complete novices (me) to the seasoned veterans (several of whom are young enough to be my children, or at least a niece or nephew)....
"...each section targets different muscle groups. There's a leap onto a bar, a set of static exercises to improve the muscles needed for the fun stuff, and what counts for a novice as a death-defying leap of faith from a low table to the top of a tall pommel horse. It's not quite up there with the building-hopping stuff, but pretty exhilarating nevertheless." Read more at www.guardian.co.uk

Fitness means not just general body fitness but refers to a state where body and mind balance each other. Since every thought has a physical response "right thinking" is essential to personal training in NYC.
